Emergency officials responded to a car accident this afternoon between two minivans in Staten Island's Grant City section.

Traffic was backed up as a result of the crash at Richmond Road and Todt Hill Road.

A 2009 Chrysler Town & County, making a left onto Todt Hill Road from Richmond Road, collided with a 1996 Dodge Caravan traveling along Richmond toward New Dorp Lane.

Passengers of the Town & County -- a mother and two kids, ages 11 and 8 -- were taken to Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze, with minor injuries. The mother is being treated for a potentially broken arm, according to her husband.

The driver of the Dodge was traveling alone and was also taken to the hospital. It is unclear if he suffered any injures at this time.
